[quote=Anonymous]First off, you just need time to grieve over the diagnosis, but it doesn’t change who your son is.

Secondly he is young and so it’s a great time to start with therapies.

Finally, it is not a recipe for disaster. My brother was not diagnosed with Aspergers until he was an adult, although he was always “odd.”  Let’s see, yes he is socially awkward, clumsy, and gets anxious in large groups  and has struggled with anxiety and depression.  He never had a large circle of friends,  though does and always has had some friends.  He will never be the life of the party, and he finds  it hard to express emotions and gets overwhelmed easily by intense emotional situations and tends to retreat to process things. He doesn't always have the emotional language to express his needs, but he has matured an incredible amount. He likes routine, but he also enjoys travel, exploration and learning.

He is incredibly smart, very witty in a deadpan way, extremely generous of spirit and loving. He also an ivy grad,  phd scientist with a home, great job, and he is married (no kids) and is an amazing uncle.

while you never know what the future holds, please don't despair. and know you've got a good community of people here who empathize. [/quote]
